Singer Tyrese shared some heartbreaking news on Valentine’s Day. The “Sweet Lady” crooner announced the death of his mother, Priscilla Murray Gibson.

The 43-year-old Watts, Calif. native took to Instagram to alert fans who had been lifting Tyrese and his mother in prayer after she was hospitalized from complications of COVID-19 last week.  

“On behalf of my family and everyone who ever spent any time praying tor my mother This is the saddest moment of my life………. My sweet Valentine just passed away….. May the Lord Jesus Christ and his angels open the doors of heavens and embrace her………. We as a family are broken and just can’t believe this……. May the Lord Jesus Christ honor your walk with him and embrace you into the heavens……. From here on I ask that you HOLD MY HAND, MOTHER, and never let my hand go………. Like you held my hand as a child and a teen never let my hand go mother…..”

 

Fans and celebrities alike left their condolences for the grieving entertainer.

“​​So so sorry about this brother. She was so proud of all you are and have become. Deepest condolences & love sent your way to you and your family ♥️,” The Rock wrote.

Rapper Scrappy wrote, “Praying for you and your fam for strength and comfort.” 

Puerto Rican actress, Roselyn Sánchez, wrote, “I’m so so sorry pa’… Oh God…Please stay strong and be well. She was and is loved…

Now you have your mama angel taking care of you from heaven. She wants you happy, thriving, prosperous and well… so continue doing that.”

His homie, Snoop Dogg, even offered to come to see Tyrese. He lost his mom, Beverly Tate, in October. 

“Stay strong I’ll come c u this week if u like to pray with u and hug u🌹🙏🏾💖.”

On Feb. 6, Tyrese shared that Priscilla was in the ICU and he called on prayer warriors to speak life into the woman who birthed him.

“I need prayers, the most sincere prayers from you prayer warriors. Hold on, mother, I’m there by your side in a few days….. God is able to do things. He’s pulled you OUT of a coma before….. Oh God, I seen the light things have been going so well…. Now, this….”

On Feb. 11, the singer went live on Instagram to pray with fans after disclosing that Priscilla was in a coma, suffering from pneumonia and COVID-19. 

“People are asking me how am I being so strong? I tell them simply……. I can’t allow what’s in front of me and what I’m seeing with my own eyes or listening to this doctors logic to supersede my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ….. between 5 and 5:30 pm today I’m going to be on my Instagram live and it’s going to be the most life-changing moment…. A moment that I am supposed to keep to myself but it’s going to much of a blessing for me to keep this to myself…….. See you soon! Set your alarm…… Jesus is in the MIRACLES BUSINESS…… If you agree say amen!!!!!”

“Life support, in a coma, with pneumonia and Covid but I still believe so,” Tyrese added. “Stand with my mother and family and write out your full prayers below…….#GodsNotDoneWithYouYetMother amen amen amen!!!!”
